Uno de los pocos lugares que vende alcohol isopropilico. Sí, es super complicado encontrar, incluso en Easy o Sodimac. Buena atención, gran variedad de productos.

Pedí un flexible con un regulador, para lo cual el anciano me estaba cobrando $25.400. Me pareció caro y le consulté por una opción más barata, para lo cual me dijo enojado que fuera a comprar a otro lado. He comprado estas cosas, incluso en el Easy, no superan los $20.000 pesos. El tipo simplemente trato de cobrarme demás y al ser sorprendido se molestó.
